Sitting down with Niya in the section of Giles Tower, Shado had time to take a good look at the arena.
Similar to modern stadiums on Earth, this arena is also a ring-shaped structure with seats distributed around it, with the seats getting higher toward the periphery.
The one towards the entrance is empty, as if there is a hole in the ring, and in the direction facing the entrance, there are only three seats, which are obviously the seats for the three representatives of the snow melting competition.
On both sides of the tripartite representatives, there are some "second-class distinguished" seats. I don't know who will sit on them. There is no one there yet.
In the center of the arena is the battle platform. There is also a battle platform in the central square of Savile Town, which can be displayed or hidden through the control of relevant magic circles.
However, the battle platform here in the arena has been prepared. It is diamond-shaped and looks not as big as the battle platform in Savile Town. Xia Duo can't help but wonder, is such a big place enough for spellcasters to move around?
…
The entire arena exudes the aura of magic. Not to mention the reconstructed magic network environment, even the arena itself may be shaped by magic. It is made of stone and light cyan, and is integrated into one.
Xia Duo casually knocked on the seat under him with the [Pioneer Scepter]. It looked like it was made of stone, but it made a clear, metallic sound. Not only Xia Duo, but other spellcasters who came in also looked at it curiously.
Look, look over there.
After a while, in the direction of Xia Duo, close to the battle platform, a white light suddenly flashed, and a spell caster appeared there. Then, one after another teleportation started.
In all directions of this ring-shaped arena, people were constantly teleporting close to the battle stage. In addition to humans, there were also dwarves and elves.
Is it finally starting?
Xia Duo clenched his hands subconsciously. He didn't know how many great arcanists had come over. So far, he had only seen two great arcanists with his own eyes. The others were only heard about and recorded in books.
Didn't get to see it with my own eyes.
It's somewhat regretful, but also fortunate.
Wait a moment, maybe several great arcanists will show up. Even though he knows they won't target him, Sha Duo is still a little nervous. This is the sense of oppression caused by the unequal power.
After a while, the frequency of transmissions began to slow down, and it seemed that everyone who was supposed to arrive had arrived, only the big shots were missing.
At this time, Xia Duo deliberately counted and found that there were only a few hundred people who looked like spellcasters on the human side, more than 400, and less than 500. These were those who had just teleported in, not counting those who walked in from the entrance.
If included, there are about 8,900 people.
As for those who were not dressed as spellcasters, there were only twenty or thirty people.
These are humans. On the dwarf side, there are only thirty in total. One of them is sitting on the "lesser noble" seats on both sides of the three main seats. Almost all of these dwarves are wearing armor and carrying hammers. They are not tall.
, without a neck, it looks like a wine barrel with a hammer hanging next to it.
Shado didn't understand why these dwarves had a foothold in the magical world. It was a fact that the Nese people lacked mithril. If the dwarves were all "warriors", there would be no way to stop the Nese mages from robbing them.
Maybe the dwarf mages are dressed like this.
From a distance, Shado couldn't tell whether those armors and weapons were magic weapons, but to be able to sit on the second seat after the three main seats, the dwarf must have something special about him.
On the elves side, there were more people. They were sent in batches. There were about two to three hundred, which was ten times that of the dwarves.
Shado is not surprised that the elves have these people, because the population of the elves is already large, and the population of the country of Erlan alone exceeds that of Netheril.
This time only two to three hundred elves came, which was relatively few.
However, Xia Duo also noticed that more than half of the elves present were golden elves, and most of the other moon elves and wood elves were sitting around them, and some were even mixed in with humans.
Currently, there is only a dwarf holding a hammer sitting on the second seat stupidly. Neither humans nor elves have arrived yet.
Just when Xia Duo was wondering if something unexpected happened, the last batch of transmissions ended, and eight humans and four elves appeared almost at the same time.
When these eight humans and four elves appeared, almost all humans and elves stood up, and Xia Duo was no exception.
Among these eight humans was the princess that Shado had seen, but Byron, the other great arcanist he had seen, did not appear. Except for the princess, all the others had unfamiliar faces.
However, from the emblems on their robes, Xia Duo still recognized their identities. Unsurprisingly, they were the seven great arcanists of the Seven Towers, and the last one——
It’s actually the emblem of Iolum!
Although Shado has not done much research on territorial emblems, he will pay extra attention to the ones he is interested in. The person present this time should also be the Grand Arcanist, but Shado is not sure whether he is Iolem himself.
.
Iolum has two great arcane masters, one is Iolum himself, and the other is his student Brod. He did not open up a separate territory like Savile, but built the mage tower on
To the Iolum Territory.
Although this man looks like a middle-aged man, he may be Brod, but since he knows that there may be [Iolum Immortality Technique] in the future, I must have a skill in extending life of Iolum now.
.
Then the possibility of it being Iolum himself is not small.
"Niya, have you seen the one with the emblem of Iolum on his clothes? Do you know who he is?" Shado leaned close to Niya and whispered in Niya's ear.
Niya's great-grandfather Savile was a student of Iolum, so he might leave some information behind.
"He is His Excellency Iolum himself. His great-grandfather left a portrait of his teacher!" Niya sounded a little excited. She had heard Iolum's story when she was very young. It can even be said that she listened to Iolum's story.
Tom's story grew up.
Whether it was his great-grandfather's teacher, or the outstanding mentor who taught the two great arcanists, or his outstanding achievements in the battle against the orcs, which almost eliminated the orc tide in the core area of Nese, or even some magical exclusive spells.
There are so many legends about Iolum!
But since most of the orcs were wiped out, Iolum rarely showed up again. There were even rumors that Iolum was dead, but Niya never believed such rumors.
Looking at Niya's expression of excitement as a fan seeing her idol, Shado felt a little awkward, but in fact he was also very excited. It was such a person who started the golden age of Netheril.
[Misser Energy Nuclear] is comparable to the controllable nuclear fusion on the earth. It is a high-power unlimited energy source. There are so many things that can be done.
Xia Duo can guess that the principle of [Myser Energy Core] is probably similar to Arcane Fire. It can draw energy from the magic network or even directly from the inner plane, but Arcane Fire cannot be preserved independently, and no one even knows how to preserve it.
There was no theory, no concrete techniques, and no idea how to even start researching.
He didn't believe that no one except him had thought of making a magical item with arcane fire to specifically create arcane energy crystals. However, so many mages had not developed it, but it was Iolum who developed the [Mither Energy Core].
].
Besides genius, what other explanation is there?
Of course, the [Myser Energy Core] has not yet come out. As for whether it has been researched or not, only Iolum himself knows.
Watching Iolum slowly sit down, Xia Duo gradually calmed down and pulled Niya to sit down as well.
